- Diving the Oriskany is a surreal experience. The flight deck extends further than I can see. In this video you will notice a crackling sound. This sound is from snapping shrimp hiding in the coral growing on the Oriskany.
my father served on this ship from 66'-68' in Vietnam. rest easy pops!
My grandpa survived on this it's kind of sad but cool seeing this
Rest In Peace
Rest in pieces 🤣
My father served on the USS Hull in Vietnam in 66’ & 68’ rip dad.
Thanks for his Service
I sailed on the Big O 67, 68, 69. Lots of memories, some of them really good, many not so much. Best wishes to the men of "OI" Division.
Great dive video Lance. Looking forward to doing this dive soon!
Utterly terrifying in a fascinating way...
Bucket list dive there. I'd love to drop onto the deck and swim up along/in the island.
Beautiful dive
ManyTHNX! quite an adventure
The dive computer is PERDIX 2 X SWIFT COMBO. MSRP 1465.0 usd. Can’t tell what the watch is though.
After 15 years down there, where is all the fish?
where is the fishs?
ive always wanted to do a shipwreck dive but 2 thing scare me THE UNDERWATER PRESSURE ON YOUR EARDRUMS AND THE OPEN DEPTHS
i dont know but when i dive only a meter deep my eardrums already hurt so are they wearing something to not feel thath pressure
ALSO THE DARK ABYsss uughh scares me
You gotta yawn before you feel the pressure or hold your nose, close your mouth and blow gently. Ypu have to constantly equalize pressure on both side of ypur eardrum
@@laptoprepairshop ohh god thath seems difficuly but like is it possible if your somewhere about like 16 meters deep and you forget to do thath is the water just gonna make your eardrums explode
@@boomspoon4004 When you learn to dive one of the first things they will teach you is to equalize pressure, also known as the valsalva maneuver. You will not forget, because it will start to hurt. As long as you keep doing it on the descent, you will never hurt.
@@noahqiu8016 ow huh it seems difficult like for example if your like 30 40 meters deep and you forget to do thath stuff your ears burst and your fill with water
there is a lot of training and practice so divers do not hurt themselves: they make it look easy in videos like this -but there are constant safety checks going on to keep themselves and the others together and safe..
Sounds like you're holding your breath for 2-3 seconds after every breath
Tank lasts longer if you don’t waste it.

Were you skip-breathing?
A little
I think we all do it from time to time.
Jit does not know how to breathe
You're holding your breath like a mofo. I imagine you get headaches often
I berthed right behind the forward 5"gun on the Portside, VA-153 Blue Tail Flys A 7 1973
The documentary of when they sank it was a great watch. It’s interesting to see how it’s changed since then. Lots of life there
A 30000 tons giant carrier that has been there on the bottom for 15 years... Can’t imagine how big she is. It also shows that the corrosion is happening on this ship by years and years because those holes on the deck and bridge are much bigger than before, on the previous footage of this wreck.
Well i believe she's 911 ft long shes a really big ship and is the world's biggest artificial Reef
this video is amazing but whath still emotionaly hits me is the fact thath before anyone can explore the titanic or see it with their own eyes it wil long be eaten away bie algie
Oriskany is 888 feet in length. The Titanic was 882 feet in length...
@@cmf1965 What's the depth at which she rests?
@@RobertGarcia-wb4hyThe sea floor where the ship sits is about 210 feet deep, with the flight deck being at 135 feet and the top of the island tower being about 70 feet
what a dive! hopefully the coral will grow more! love seeing the carrier and can only imagine seeing it in person!
Awesome video sir, & the picture quality is superb. What type of camera did you use filming this epic dive site?
In 1969 we did WESTPAC Vietnam and sailed 207 days with 104 fires. I kept expecting those divers to open a hatch and find smoldering rags in one of those spaces YET!!! USS ZIPPO!! RIP!!!!
I thought I'd see alot more wildlife, i guess in time. I can only imagine whats hiding out inside though
Hello to everyone who brings good into this world and fights against evil)
spent some hours walking them decks. in 71/72
Out of interest, why did you choose to ascend when you did? It looked like you still had lots of air remaining, and also once you ascended your NDL was above 12 (newer diver looking to learn here!).
I had a headache when I went down and I wasn't feeling that great, but I couldn't resist going down so i went for it.
@@laptoprepairshop makes sense - thanks! Great video!
his dive buddy was on a single tank, they needed to come up, gas go very fast at that depth
As for the NDL question - your NDL number will increase as you ascend and your depth becomes shallower because you're off-gassing the absorbed nitrogen in your tissues as you ascend. Sometimes you'll incur actual decompression obligations at depth and they'll clear by the time you make an ascent to that stop depth at the appropriate rate (30fpm is wise). I just had that happen to me a few weeks ago diving in Lake Mohave in Arizona - we spent the bulk of the dive at 50-60 feet but descended to 85 while looking for a particular wreck, and I incurred a short obligation - by the time we found one of the smaller wrecks we were looking for around the 40 foot mark and got bored with it, that deco obligation had cleared itself and I was back to having an NDL in the 20-something minute range.
I dont see that many fishes down there, looks like the artificial reef purpose was a bit of a failure...
This is so cool... too bad I don't have the guts to actually dive like that
It’s too deep for 90% of amateur diving
Too dangerous
How many feet deep? 140-150?
I’ll willing to bet they were diving on mixed gas vs straight air, considering the depth.
Great quality- What camera did you use- What is the set up and or editing ?
Great video! I was expecting to see more fish, but the barnacles look like that are enjoying it at least.
Sucks how the majority of the ship is below 130.
It's probably a VERY GOOD thing it's that deep.
Do you know how many knuckleheads could get killed going into the interior of the hull?
It's dark and easy to get lost in those compartments!
The depth encourages the foolhardy to stay away. Only trained and experienced divers can go the bottom. They'll also follow decompression standards because how many ordinary people bother to read instructions for most of their home appliances?!?
@@AvengerIIIts all the way in the golf of mexico I believe… I doubt any knuckle heads would go all the way over there even if it wasn’t that deep.
What model is your rectangular Shearwater dive computer ? (@6:50)
Perdix ai
Looks like she is deteriorating quickly.
She’s been out there since May 2006
The Oriskany was docked for 30 years after she was decommissioned in 1976. Besides being stripped for parts to support the museum carriers, there was not much else done other than to remove toxic insulation and paint before she was sunk!
IE, she was already severely rusted before she was scuttled in the Gulf.
The early dive footage I saw showed rust coming off pipes, valves, etc. inside the interior of the her hull. I think that footage was shot within 5 years of the sinking.
There might be another 30 years before she suffers a structural collapse -- who knows, really.
That will depend on the weather and current.
It's out of our hands unless they decide to remove the ship (salvage) after all but I doubt that will happen. I think if the ship DID collapse/break, the pieces might be swept further by a future hurricane. The hulk of the ship already shifted once after one hurricane.
I'm surprised by how quickly holes have corroded into the deck.
Hello Lance how are you I like to go scuba diving in the sea please with you
The more the merrier! Where do you live?
Ireland 🇮🇪
@Conrad Minch that's a long way from the USA. Message me if you ever plan to come this way, you can dive with us.
Ok sure I would like to dive
Did you regret not diving twins ? I had no idea there was water that far into the gulf that was this good.
I was on twins.
Magnificent dive and video. Thanks for sharing.
Largest piece of litter dumped in the Ocean.
I thought there'd be a lot more marine life there
This was awesome thank you for this.
your lucky the shark didnt kill you
That’s awesome a giant playground
Diving in high visibility, water is like driving a brand new sports car. All of a sudden you realize that you’re in 130 feet of water or you’re doing 80 miles an hour.
GREAT VIDEO DIVE,.. THANKS!!!!!

I like how the shark appears
Have there been any shark attacks on this wreak?
Para que ficar olhando para uma ferragem em decomposição no fundo do mar? Não tem porque. Parei de mergulhar por isso. Ir no cemitério é a mesma coisa!
Cool dive and great video. How deep is she resting at? Looks to be around 90-100’. Used to scuba dive on wrecks. Really miss it!
It rests at a depth of 200 ft
@@graysoceanworld5662 Thats the keel , the deck is about 120 and the top of the tower is at 70
Flight deck is 150, island is 120, top of mast is 80
@@rickpitts2277 a dive even at 120, I believe, is not your standard dive, that takes some special prep, right?
@@RobertGarcia-wb4hy yes it takes special training
The vis is amazing. Is it always like that?
Can you help me know what time mark you can see the flight desk. Trying to picture the carrier hard to tell
Looks like you are in a dry suit. What is the temp and what time of year was this?
Water was low 70's. I had a drysuit on with no undergarment. I was used to having a drysuit on with twin lp125 tanks. Just to help with buoyancy
@@laptoprepairshop perfect for my 130 specialty dive. I’ve done 100 off Catalina for my Advanced certification. I’ll be driving trucks across the country and I’m already researching where I’ll be diving on my resets. Awesome video. Thanks for posting this.
So what's the story with the dude breaking cohesion with the group around 4:28? Doesn't seem like a smart move at depths like this.
Most of the benefit of buddies admittedly disappears once you start diving completely redundant equipment with stages. Unless he flat out has a panic attack or a heart attack, or starts seizing... any other issue he should (in theory of course) be able to handle and make a safe ascent by himself.
Not saying I would make a habit out of doing it (especially in deep open water like this) but my deepest solo dive was 141 feet with a 61 minute runtime including deco...
The Anchor is in Oriskany NY on the green as you come into town.
Hey guys I want to dive this wreck before my 60th birthday.
👌👌👌
How does one get to do this?
You can take a charter out of Pensacola. I’m diving it next Sunday for the third time. It’s awesome
Nice!
why do you hold your breath every time after you inhale?
I don't do that when I'm going upward. Just taking it easy on the air.
@@laptoprepairshop isnt it better to breath normal ? when you hanging at home breathing is more like pause after you exhale. i ask only to lern something new , sorry for my bad english. kind regards from Germany
@@p-dog2837 it's just a preference, does not really matter that much. I'm not holding my breath long enough to build co2, nor am I holding my breath on ascent.
@@laptoprepairshop I didn't want to question that, I understood that you breathe like this to save air and I wonder if that really does anything
@@p-dog2837 Yes. It helps. Controlled breathing is fine as long as you follow the rules. Dont hold your breath but you can pause your breath. 1-2 seconds.
And dont ever hold your breath while ascending but if your chilling around the same depth and just checking the sights, then a slower controlled breathing pattern will help you save a little air which gives a little more time.
What a vessel! Great viz.
what camera are you using?
Just a gopro.
This feels too much like a backrooms video
A billion garbage in the sea.
A symbol of ego and arrogance !
